Hi guys,

I'm actually new to this group, so greetings all around to you all ...just wondering if anybody caught those recent ads on tv, the ones with the SUV looking like some kind of woolly mammoth thing? Reason I ask is apparently they've put together an actual game base on these, I think...

Does anybody know if these creatures for the game are meant to be some sort of mammoth creature, what type it is....and don't they bear a big resemblance to something out of a Star Wars movie, the older not newer? The game is pretty hilarious, these guys move damn fast for their size...

I dunno WTH that game was but the big beast animal is called a onos.

Didn't the thing in that game look like a wooly mammoth (sp?) of some sort....is that the same as an onos?

thankx for the reply

aeroripper · May 2005

Have you ever played natural selection before?

This onos i guess SORTA looks like a wooly mammoth, without all the fur. And its not nearly as big as a mammoth. Also this game isn't trying to model the walk dynamics of a wooly mammoth, its just a game and the onos is made to be balanced with the rest of the game.

I don't know who made the concept\model and what they were inspired by if that's what you mean. I think the onos was just made to be a "living tank" so it kind of looked like an elephant i guess for that big intimidating look.

You know that's in a Ford commercial, right?

AnderSon · May 2005

well onos is more like an ultralisk in Star Craft if u havnt knowticed...
Skulks = Zerglings
Lerk = Mullisks
Fade = Hydralisks
Onos = Ultralisk
Gorges = Drones

I think this is meant to be in off topic forum and has nothing to do with NS.

Not really, considering the Ultralist is huge compaired to the Onos and it looks like a crab/lobster.

Anyway, no I don't think Ford should be sued for stealing the onos and turning it into a hairy animal/suv thing.

TychoCelchuuu · May 2005

The mammoth thing is just a marketing thing. It's not a real animal. It's just a thingie that looks like an SUV.

About Star Wars, you're thinking of a bantha. Both are large, brown, and shaggy. Other than that no resemblance.

typical_skeleton · May 2005

Liku, the Ultralisk, compared to StarCraft marines, is not that much bigger than an Onos.

And no, it isn't like a crab/lobster, really. It doesn't have claws, it has two large, curved tusks, and four legs. Its body is plated with natural "armor", not unlike the Onos.

The <a href='http://x.fgclan.com/images/fanart/ultralisk.gif' target='_blank'>Ultralisk</a> is considerably more vicious looking than an Onos. I'd say it's more insect-like than crab like, but they're kind of similar anyway.

Still, in most respects, it can be directly compared to an Onos (size, speed, fighting power, etc).

=P

The fact that one can be taken down by just a group of cheap base units...

Xyth · May 2005

Also keep in mind their main diffrences (Kinda funny how this thread is starting to have no semblance to what the starting question was about)

People use Oni all the time.
People never used Ultralisk.

kekeke!

Disregarding that, would it technically be possible for an Onos to devour an Ultralisk? I imagine if that was possible the ultra would just..tear itself out of an onos. Yummy!

QFT

However,

The ultralisk couldn't be taken down by a group of cheap base units... (unless they were zealots, with the upgraded speed.) (2x8dmg + 3 each attack ftw ).

That was just as mean as rushing their base with only reavers.. just to add insult to injury.
